For that kind of money you'll probably be looking at 720p. You might want to stay away from used, as the bulbs may have worn and are expensive considering your budget, dust build up and alignment issues may be a concern. Throw distance, ambient light, noise,and ventilation are real considerations. Each technolgy has their pros and cons, the final decision will probably be due to personal preference. Panasonic and Sanyo amongst others have offered good values.
Be patient. Prices are dropping rapidly. What used to cost $25K 5 years ago, can now be had for $2K. Be patient, I suspect the rate of price falls to continue, with even better picture quality, better reliability, easier maintance and set up. That is, unless of course, the US dollar doesn't hold up it's end of the bargain.
